Saurav Das Raises Phone Cloning Allegations Against Police

Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) spokesperson Saurav Das has raised concerns about the handling of mobile phones belonging to party members following their detention ahead of a planned protest in Delhi. Das alleged that the devices were taken into police custody and expressed suspicion that they might have been hacked or cloned. However, the phone-cloning allegation has not been independently verified.

According to reports published on October 11, 2026, Das made the allegations after his release from detention. He claimed that the phones were taken during the police action and raised questions about whether proper seizure documentation had been provided. He also expressed concern that information could potentially be added to the devices and later used as evidence.

The incident is connected to the CJP's planned demonstration at Jantar Mantar, where party members intended to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Several CJP members, including Abhijeet Dipke and Ashutosh Ranka, were reportedly detained ahead of the protest on October 10. The detentions subsequently triggered criticism from party representatives.

Das's statements have raised questions about digital privacy, the handling of seized electronic devices and the rights of people taken into custody. However, the allegations do not establish that phone cloning or evidence tampering actually occurred. Further clarification from Delhi Police and independently verified evidence would be needed to determine what happened to the devices.
